Sensory Friendly Time at the MOST

02/11/2012

Time: 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Cost: admission

This event is designed for any children with sensory processing difficulties, regardless of diagnosis. If a child has difficulty with the overstimulating sensory environment at the MOST, this is the time for them. In preparation for A Sensory Friendly Time, many exhibits will be adjusted so they are more comfortable for sensory processing difficulties. These adjustments include lowering loud noises, eliminating flashing lights, silencing the air compressors that control some of the exhibits, offering "quiet" areas where participants can sit, relax and regroup.

Anticipatory guidance will be provided when some exhibits will be turned on or off and competing background sounds (often from DVDs playing at various displays) will be held to a minimum. Guides will be available to assist participants in loacting various exhibits as well as address any sensory issues which might arise at the time.

Age Level: Persons with sensory processing challenges
Cost: Regular exhibit admission, free to MOST members
